Southern Alberta Amateur Radio Club is holding a Field Day
Jun 14th
Hi Bob,
This may be a stretch for those to attend however would you possibly be able to circulate that the Southern Alberta Amateur Radio Club is holding a Field Day event?
Details are at https://www.saarc.ca/
Just in case someone from up there is interested in attending an off-grid Field Day event in this area.
Thanks!

Vertical HF Antenna for SOTA
Mar 1st
This is a solution I came up with when I reach a summit where there is insufficient room to deploy an EFHW antenna. This mount fits on the tip of my trekking pole that I poke upside down in the snow or prop up with rocks. I attach the coax to one BNC fitting and a Diamond vertical antenna to the other BNC fitting. There are four ground wire attachments for the ground plane wires that I just lay out in the snow or on the ground. The photo shows the antenna in use on the summit of Lipalian Mountain.
